The National Council of La Raza (NCLR)—the largest national Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization in the United States—works to improve opportunities for Hispanic Americans. Through its network of nearly 300 affiliated community-based organizations, NCLR reaches millions of Hispanics each year in 41 states, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia. To achieve its mission, NCLR conducts applied research, policy analysis, and advocacy, providing a Latino perspective in five key areas—assets/investments, civil rights/immigration, education, employment and economic status, and health. In addition, it provides capacity-building assistance to its Affiliates who work at the state and local level to advance opportunities for individuals and families. Founded in 1968, NCLR is a private, nonprofit, nonpartisan, tax-exempt organization headquartered in Washington, DC, serving all Hispanic subgroups in all regions of the country. It has state and regional offices in Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Phoenix, and San Antonio.

MESSAGE
FROM THE PRESIDENT AND THE BOARD CHAIR
NCLR staff march in support of comprehensive immigration reform in Washington, DC.
At the height of the Senate immigration reform debate last spring, several reporters asked if we were surprised at how quickly the Senate had acted. Far from it. The push to take up a long-neglected issue like immigration reform did not happen by accident or by chance, and Senate action did not occur in a vacuum. It was the result of a historic level of engagement by our community in the 2012 election and lots of hard work by individuals and organizations to make that engagement a reality. By all accounts, the Latino vote and the clear message we sent in that election is what led to the first meaningful opportunity for immigration reform in nearly a decade. Mobilizing the community was our task in 2012. Seizing the moment created by our community was NCLR’s mission in 2013. We advocated with members on both sides of the aisle to move legislation forward. We testified on numerous occasions before the relevant committees in the Senate and the House of Representatives. We worked in tandem with one of the largest and most diverse coalitions in American politics to make the case to our lawmakers that immigration reform is not only in the best interest of the Hispanic community—it’s in the best interest of our nation. NCLR delivered the message that enacting reform is a moral, economic, and political imperative. Reform would end the unconscionable limbo in which 11 million people live every single day of their lives, and it would give a needed boost to our still-fragile economy. Due to this work and the leadership of a key group of Republican and Democratic senators, the U.S. Senate responded with a strong bipartisan vote for reform that will move our nation forward. While the process has unfortunately not moved as quickly in the House of Representatives, NCLR will continue to push forward to ensure that reform becomes law in 2014. NCLR works every day to advance the issues our community cares about. We will continue to make progress—whether in health care, job creation and training, education, or asset building—in the year to come. We invite you to join us in these endeavors.

IMPROVING IMMIGRATION, TODAY Getting ready to leave for work one morning, 15-year old Cinthya’s father was arrested by immigration officials after living in North Carolina for 25 years. Seven-year-old Emmanuel’s father was taken by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents more than a year ago from their home in Charlotte. Emmanuel and Cinthya are two children participating in the Papalote Project, in which children make kites with paper, glue, and craft sticks to remember and celebrate their loved ones lost to deportation. Many children turned a piece of clothing once belonging to a parent into the tail of the kite. Despite the fragility of the kites, they traveled all the way to Washington, DC—in the hands of four NCLR Affiliates from North Carolina participating in NCLR’s National Latino Advocacy Days. For the yearly event, nearly 300 leaders from 31 states and the District of Columbia brought their voices to Capitol Hill to advocate for comprehensive immigration reform. The North Carolina Affiliates met with their Republican and Democratic representatives to discuss the urgent need for a roadmap to citizenship. The immigration debate is not an abstraction of legal statuses; instead, it directly affects millions of American sons, daughters, and spouses. Cinthya says America is the only country she knows and gets scared thinking about the prospect of moving to Mexico, a country where she has never been. Through the hard work of our Affiliates, her voice and the voices of other North Carolina children suffering through the heartbreaking reality of our immigration system have been heard on Capitol Hill.

Being a part of means we are part of a network of like-minded and like-missioned organizations that are working together to strengthen the Latino community. JAMES RUDYK, JR., EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, NORTHWEST SIDE HOUSING CENTER (NWSHC), CHICAGO, IL
IMPROVING LATINO HEALTH, TODAY Comprando Rico y Sano is NCLR’s community-based healthy shopping program led by promotores de salud, or community health workers, at 16 NCLR Affiliates across the country. Through activities such as cooking demonstrations and charlas, the program supports Latino families in making healthy food the easy choice. However, as shared on NCLR’s blog by a promotora working with NCLR Affiliate YWCA El Paso del Norte Region, teaching nutrition can lead to other support for families in need. After a presentation to 16 mothers at a homeless shelter, a pregnant mother with a toddler in tow approached the promotora with questions. The young mother shared that she survived on a diet of fast food and microwavable meals, and never really learned how to cook. She asked her caseworker and the promotora for basic cooking lessons, and they agreed. As they continued to talk, the young mother became agitated, using words like “fear” and “death.” Finally, she opened up to the promotora and caseworker: when her ex-husband did not like the meals she prepared, he would throw plates, hot pots, and sharp utensils at her. That experience of domestic violence left her with scars, burns, and a fear of cooking. The opportunity to share her story allowed the shelter to provide the additional services the young mother would need to successfully care for herself and her family. As the promotora wrote of the young mother, “She was thankful for the guidance the charla had provided, but even more grateful when she proudly prepared and served her first bowl of caldito de pollo, [a healthy and delicious chicken soup], to her daughter.”

EDUCATING OUR CHILDREN IMPROVING EDUCATION, TODAY When the Hernandez family brought their three children, ages seven, nine, and 11, to NCLR Affiliate Houston Gateway Academy, they were looking for an opportunity to support their children’s education. What they found was Padres Comprometidos, an NCLR parent engagement program that encourages parents to become familiar with their child’s teacher, assigns parents homework, and educates parents on the importance of meeting with teachers and counselors to seek information related to their child’s academic performance. The eight-week program trains parents who are not traditionally involved with schools to understand the U.S. public school system, develop goals for their children to ensure they attend college, understand the academic requirements for college readiness, and explore how to model behaviors at home that encourage and promote learning. The Hernandez family regularly takes advantage of their children’s time outside of school to read with them, check their homework, and have family discussions about various school events. Through the hard work of NCLR, Houston Gateway Academy, and of course the Hernandez family, the three Hernandez
children have succeeded each school year with improved grades and state test scores, and their family communication skills have improved as well. These are just three of the nearly 1,300 students in Houston Gateway Academy. The Padres Comprometidos program reaches parents of children in preschool through 12th grade. Each year, the program graduates more than 2,700 Latino parents at affiliated centers throughout the country in classes designed to promote strong connections between schools and parents. Currently being offered at 50 sites from Texas to Tennessee to Wisconsin, these classes help parents engage with the education system to better promote their children’s success. Once they become familiar with how schools work and what is expected of students, 100% of Padres Comprometidos parents expect their children to attend college, even while the vast majority of them have not attended themselves. Working together, Padres Comprometidos proves that with resolve and smarter efforts, we can lead our Latino children toward educational success.

RAISING FUTURE LEADERS Being a part of the Líderes Initiative pushes me to the next level…What had once seemed impossible became possible. ANGELA VIVAR, LÍDERES YOUTH ADVISORY COMMITTEE MIDWEST REGION REPRESENTATIVE, ATTENDING NCLR’S LÍDERES CONGRESO
INSPIRING FUTURE LEADERS, TODAY Few groups match the energy and drive of youth in the NCLR Líderes Program, or the exuberance of the Líderes Summit. As part of the 2013 NCLR Annual Conference in New Orleans, the Líderes Summit drew more than 200 students, youth developers, community leaders, and young professionals to experience one of the most comprehensive leadership-building experiences available to youth in the United States. The young people gathered from all corners of the nation—from Virginia to Texas to California—to attend the five-day program. The Summit’s professional development component helped participants feel more confident about their professional prospects and allowed them to connect to Latino professionals who care deeply about seeing the future generation succeed. In further recognition of the professional potential of Líderes youth, the U.S. Department of the Interior led an interactive workshop, which took 60 Summit participants on a tour of New Orleans for a lecture on the history of the city and its cultural traditions, ending with an al fresco reception in the French Quarter that sought to inform Líderes youth about job opportunities within the government agency. As one young participant of the Líderes Summit Staff Leadership Development Program put it, “There aren’t words that can fully describe the impact that this year’s NCLR Líderes Summit has had in my personal, academic and professional life…I don’t think I’ve ever learned as much, nor had a program impact me so much, in such a short amount of time.”

IMPROVING THE ECONOMY, TODAY Groceries. Rent. Gas. Making ends meet depends not only on buying the daily essentials, but on having access to the financial tools to make these transactions. Latinos account for many of the “unbanked” in the U.S., meaning they are less likely to have a savings or checking account at a traditional bank or credit union. The outlook is bleaker for Latinos who are non-U.S. citizens, or for whom English is not their primary language. While there are a number of alternative financial services and products that people without bank accounts often use, bank account ownership is widely recognized as a fundamental step in achieving financial security. NCLR conducted a survey to assess whether California’s Latinos are able to access the banking services they need; the results were released in our report, Latino Financial Access and Inclusion in California. To our knowledge, this survey is the first that explores the role of technology in the financial lives of low-income Hispanics. The survey findings tell us that for Latinos, citizenship truly is one of the most important assets an individual can have. The citizenship process can help to increase the financial engagement of immigrants in the financial mainstream. Assisting greater numbers of immigrants to achieve citizenship could increase financial opportunities but, ironically, many find the naturalization fees unaffordable. That is why NCLR is working with the financial industry, immigration advocates, and financial access policy experts, as well as policymakers. Together, we’ll help make citizenship a reality for all who want it and help make our communities more financially secure. 2013 NCLR ANNUAL REPORT
